VAGRANT VERSE
FREE WILL. (Written for the Southland Times.) Here are my thoughts launched on a silent sea, where no one seeks to ask of me cause or effect, bidding me to attend to choice of words that they may comprehend. k / • I am adrift, cast from the stolid quay’ where sober men think craftily; profit or loss, I think as I will no law' or task I have to fulfil. I may be dead, lost from the world of men—■ I do not wish to return again. . . . Here are my thoughts: careless of worth, I send them out And sink back to earth.
—Shaun O’Sullivan. Invercargill, May 30, 1930.
